it but the defense went after number four today. >> there's the strong possibility that jerry sandusky's wife, dottie could take to the stand. the judge said they may go a little lontoday. watch and wait and see. we'll take you back there for the latest on her testimony. let's roll on, hour two. a developing story out of afghanistan. an american military base breached. we're told eight insurgents got inside the security perimeterpe. seven of the insurgents are dead. no u.s. soldiers were killed. there's word that the insurgents may have had help from afghan security forces. we're monitoring that for you. first, i want to begin here
12:01 pm
with news that could furtherer ratchet up the tensions. the pentagon is saying t ining s getting ready to send ships to syria. i want to go straight to the pentagon to barbara starr. i was listening to your exchange there in the pentagon briefing earlier today. you were pressing them a bit. tell me about the exchange. >> reporter: there's been a bit of confusion. there's a urth vessel that turned back to russia. it was a bit of a surprise when the pentagon announced it has information that three warships from russia were headed to syria. i want you to have a listen to what they had to say. >> the russian military is preparing to dispatch some we
12:02 pm
think it has supplies and perhaps personnel to their base there. we have no indication that these vessels and that material is being sent to syria for any other puose than the russian military has acknowledged themselves that it's for re-supply and with protection to have that at that facility. >> what >> reporter: so far the russian government is not opening talking about the vessels being sent. they are saying that nothing is underway yet. the u.s. agrees with that. u.s. satellite is watching. imagery being gathered that shows the vessels are loaded up and all indications on their cay to syria to help rehigh pressure enforce the russian presence there for the self-defense of what the russians have there.
12:03 pm
>> what about the timing of all of this? this is one day we're reporting on that meeting beten vladmir putin. talk to me about tting of this. >> reporter: look, you're absolutely right. we can all get into the niceties of maritime ship movements, what these ships are doing at any given point in time. the big picture here is that the united states still is very much pressing russia to stay out of syria, not to get involved in the war there. in fact, to take a position to try and get assad out of government. that's the real u.s. effort. underlying all this is the violence in syria grows, you see sectarian warfare and the instability growth. that becomes very destabilizing across the middle east. that becomes as tragic as syria
12:04 pm
is an even boarder problem for both the u.s. and russia an all of the allies to have to deal with. brooke. >> thank you. we talk about russia when it comes to syria, a key player there. we also have to talk about china. i want to let you know that president obama will be meeting with china's president in just a couple of hours. their sit down comes amid all this new talk about a wider role for china in mideast politics and in syria. harvard professor said it's time to carry its own ring. chie ma is the world supreme free rider. china ease oil con sujs has doubled. they contribute nothing to stability in the heartland. i was talking to our foreign affairs correspondent asking her if it's realistic at all to believe that china could play a
12:05 pm
larger role in solving the crisis. here is what she told me. >> nobody is talking about military action. having china involved would be very different from the way things are normally done. it's usually nato that takes actions like this and they are not talking about it. the u.s. wants china to do a couple of things. they want them to join the sanctions and carry out the sanctions and do whatever they can to bring about this political transition. in other words, have assad step down onand go into some type of democracy. >> we've been reporting in syria th the slaughter. sometimes just one single piece of video really brings the story home like the one we're about to show you. you're going to see a man who has just returned to his home and finds it destroyed reportedly by government rocket
12:06 pm
fire. you don't even have to speak the language. his reaction says it all. >> that is just one machine and one story in syria. that was just outside his home. this is the fact of life now in syria these days. i always have to remind you. cnn cannot verify the authenticity of videos such as these. that's because the syrian regime has restricted media access to the country. a lot more news happening this

event. he said more than that. we'll touch on that with my next guest. we laugh and see these people. it's kind of funny, but at same time it's not. tell me just what are they rolling out as far as these mapping techniques. >> google is using satellites and planes. they have directions to get a better sense from point a to point b. they are mapping the inside of buildings like airports so we can navigate around jfk or lax. those are great services to have, but they come with a bit of a privacy cost. >> you mentioned the planes. sure we have seen the google cars, but the senator saying the new mapping technology might be using these spy planes, could
12:13 pm
peer through windows and photograph objects as small as four inches long. is that actually accurate? >> i think as president obama once said famously about vice president biden, i think he might be a little ahead of his skis here. i don't think the surveillance technology is quite as grand as the senator is making out. google already incorporates in algorithms to blur out faces. you can get your face blurred out by request. the overhead shots that nbc might take of a football game or that cnn might take of time square, those are much more likely to get exposed to the public. having your picture buried somewhere in google isn't the same thing as making you a celebrity. >> unless the whole thing isn't

these girls are not for sale. minnesota spending millions of dollars on that slogan. why? because sex slavery is rising. you're about to get a look at the race to track down pimps and their targets. >> we're a few blocks way. >> reporter: police sergeant graham schneider has spent more than a decade combatting sec trafficking in the midwest. in the van is a pimp. he's about to violate probation meeting with a prostitute he picked up online. the transaction is under way when his team enter confiscating potential evidence. >> appears to have condoms. >> is that a normal amount of money? >> considering she has been here
12:19 pm
for a day, this is more than one client. minnesota is place where a lot of women, a lot of girls are recruited. >> reporter: many travel the highways known as spaghetti jung. traffic online is so brazen, ads offer online specials. it's ranked among the 13th city in the nation for child prostitutes and sex trafficking. >> we have this misconception that the children that are being traffic are not the children that live in our communities. from what i see is they have come from our communities. >> reporter: the majority of those children are run aways. survival secti survival sex is not uncommon. teens trading sex for meals or warm place to stay. her daughter first ran way when she was 14. >> what do you understand of her life on the run?
12:20 pm
>> i just know that she was doing what she has to do in her mind to survive. >> reporter: vulnerable and alone the teen was a perfect target. she met man who seemed friendly. >> wanted to know if she wanted to hang out with him and his girlfriend. she got in the car with him and that's where it all started. >> reporter: like many teens, by the time she realized, it was too late. >> threats were made if she told anything about what she was doing or told on him that he would come back and kill her family. >> sblooefed him? >> she believed him. >> that happens all the time. children as young as 12 and 13 are forced into prostitution by someone they initially trust. >> they don't say their pimps. they say their boyfriends. >> reporter: her group breaking free has helped hundreds of women escape what they call the lifestyle. just like victims of international sex trafficking,
12:21 pm
american girls are kept isolated and move from place to place. >> it's very hard what they have been taken to find them. >> reporter: it's why police officers at new york city's port authority work to find hundreds of teenager run aways first pimd >> for the people that are looking to exploit kids, they will throw a broad net out. it's not that they are looking to get one two. they might speak to as many as ten. >> reporter: this teenager from the midwest turns up with only $5 to meet a stranger. >> i called the mother up. >> reporter: at 17 the girl is considered an adult in her state and is released. >> i said you don't know where you're going. >> reporter: roughly 300,000 kids run away every year. the figure most quoted by advocates difficult to confirm independently that within 48
12:22 pm
hours of running away a teen will be approached by a pimp or someone in the sex trade. >> there's so many men out here who prey on young women. it excites them and it's something sexual for them. i was a baby. i was 12. >> reporter: these other victims are trying to move past the men who abuse them as part of breaking free. >> by show of hands, how many you have were raped? how many you have have scars because of what you went through, physical scars? emotional cscars? how many? minnesota changed the prostitution laws so underage girls are treated as victim, not criminals. a $4 million campaign was launched with the slogan, minnesota girls are not for sale. >> do you think laws have to come down harder on the buyers,
12:23 pm
the people who are putting the money out? >> i think so. i think we need to treat the men that are clients of women in the sex trafficking industry as part of conspiracy to kidnap, to imprison, to enslave and to traffic these women. >> reporter: ironic, he says that prostitution is a felony while paying for it is a misdemeaner. a sickle of supply and demand with no end in sight. >> the story comes as the state department is getting ready to release its report on human trafficking. for more check out the freedom project website. it's on cnn.com. this just in to us. we have been covering the jerry sandusky trial. we have now learned his wife,

>> here is harry belafonte. >> mr. harry belafonte. ♪ daylight come and me want to go home ♪ >> the film is called "sing your song." it's filled with fantastic performance footage, this isn't the glossy version. it's concerned with his activism. he describes flying down to mississippi after three civil rights workers were murdered there back in 1964. >> all of a sudden these highlights went on and i turned to sydney and said these are exit. he said that's the klan. they decided to put us up in this house. outside they sit with a shotgun.
12:29 pm
>> harry, stayed in this house with a family in the delta. it was so dangerous. the house had been fired on. >> harry belafonte joins me live. it's a pleasure. thank you for joining me. >> thank you very having me. >> you have quite the textured story. you marched with dr. king. you put your life on the line. me question to you bringing this to today in 2012. do you think that celebrities are just playing it safe by comparison, attaching their names to safer causes? >> i think there's no question that they are playing it safe. i think, a certain degree of self-serving has a far outweighed the service for the greater humanity. i think there are some nice things going on. i think people do pleasant
12:30 pm
things from time to time, but from the point of view of passionate social change commitment, very few, if any. >> who do you see today as falling in your true, true activism footsteps and doing so in this country? >> i think it's unfair to talk about in way in my footsteps. i think many artists are doing things at a certain level that are quite remarkable and quite appreciated. in my footsteps, first of all, we don't live in the same history, the same time. the society is mobilized. back in the days of vietnam and the civil rights movement with dr. king and the kind of leaders we have, none of that is visible today. i think the canvas is very different. i do say the artists like bruce springsteen, his current album called "wreaking ball."
12:31 pm
decided to sing songs to human degradation. it reminds me of bob dylan and the early days of pete seeger. >> we were just talking about bruce stringsteen and his film and he very voiced his anger with america right now. also back to your film, there are these incredible clips you have interviewing jfk and rfk. you didn't necessarily, tell me if this is the right word to arktize your feelings and trust the kennedys, did you trust the kennedys early on? >> i had a great sense of caution. nieded to trust them. i needed to see in them the key to the future. after all, john was the president of the united states and bobby was the med of the most important agency government as far as black aspirations were concerned.
12:32 pm
he was the head of the justice department. when both of them care to their positions of power, it was no indication they had ever come from a history that had any familiarity with the problems facing the poor and certainly problems facing black america. the things they said early on and when john was the senator, he had a few years tenure. we had reason to be suspicion and be concerned. dr. king said something very critical. we were discussing the facts these were head of state an men we had to deal with. he said we understand all the problems that we face. your task is to find their moral center. >> the moral center. >> find their moral center and to get them to our cause.
12:33 pm
he saw in both of those men, good and to keep programming them and keep giving them information and keep informing them about what our struggle was about. in the end, i think we had an incredible alliance of john didn't live long enough. >> it was l.b.j. who you talk about. initially surprised he would be the one. i do want to ask you about something else. there's a moment when you talk about police stopping you for while walking while being black in beverly hills in the early 1950s. do you see parallels between that experience and the trayvon martin shooting? >> absolutely. it's nothing to the extreme happened when i was walking beverly hills. i was not shot, but i was stopped and under very slim
12:34 pm
interrogation. i couldn't tell them who i was and what i was doing there before i found myself in the bev beverly hills police station. had it not been for some of my friends in beverly hills that i could call that were quite influential that you might want to reconsider. when they got that message they released me. i was never quite the same with hollywood knowing that the tent cals of racism could reach into a community of liberal thinking that existed among the actors and super stars that lived in beverly hills. i have great similarly ies becae on the issue of race we've never come square. we've never had that discussion. >> i don't think we haven't talked race in america?
12:35 pm
>> quite the contrary. wa we've done, we've buried it. we have taken it to a subterranean place when before we were in the civil rights movement, we had super bowls sit were quite visible. now we have these things that are written in law. there's no sign that says no allowed. now i think the kind of racism, the experience is far more is up li subliminal. >> do you think it's worse? >> not only is it worse, but it expresses itself in the political landscape. i don't think barack obama is just a democrat. they don't like the fact that he's black and he's in that office. i think that's being played out here. i don't think he does anything that makes him a socialist or
12:36 pm
communist follower. it's absolute silly to think of him as a man of islamic faith and he's betrays the mandate. what is it that makes us survive and i think it's the issue of race. >> you bring up the president. this is my final question to you. you sort of famously infamously spoke about george w. bush back in 2002. how do you see mitt romney? >> i find mitt romney as an extension of the very same campaign and the very same principles that were put in place by the bush administration. i think there is an insidious thing going on in america that's beyond the cycles of elections. i think there's a constantly daily working machine that undermining the best interest of this country.
12:37 pm
only in our public spaces like the legislation of america, but everywhere else. what's happening in the school systems and shut down in terms in education. what's been shut down in a number of programs that could benefit this nation racially and economically. >> the documentary is "sing your song." thank you very much. weigh in on the conversation. how do you feel about what harry belafonte just said? send me a tweet. we are getting in new video of a rowdy joe biden. vice president firing up union crowds. we'll see what he said. also, we're getting word that his heart stop but he's been revived. we'll take you live the egypt as well. here, heavy rental equipmet in the middle of nowhere, is always headed somewhere. to give it a sense of direction, at&t created a mobile asset solution to protect and track everything. so every piece of equipment knows where it is, how it's doing or where it goes next.

12:42 pm
he was sentenced to life in prison after being found guilty of being an accomplice to death of protesters here in this very square. it does seem like his health has deteriorated. that's according to the state prosecutor's office. >> i know we have live pictures. let's show some of the live pictures behind you. the images we saw a year or so ago. look at this. thousands of people i know in the jsquare. they are spoupporting the musli brotherhood and claiming victory from the run off election, correct? >> reporter: that's right. tens of thousands of people. i'll get out of the way here so you can see a bit of the square. the fireworks going off.
12:43 pm
the protests help drive an authoritarian ruling out of power a year half ago. this was supposed to be over. there was supposed to be a transfer to civilian democracy in this country. egypt just had presidential elections just last weekend. it coincided with a power play by the ruling military council here which dissolved the recently elected parliament last week just two days before the presidential elections. it has since announced that it's taking the powers of the parliament and a lot of powers in the past reserved for the president basically making it a very weak position, i would argue, a puppet position, and the supporters here of the opposition who is is claiming victory, they are out here denouncing the military and what many are calling a soft milit y
12:44 pm

12:50 pm
